06/09/2020 - Part 3 is up! I hope you enjoy this revitalized version.  As a FYI, as I post a new part of the revamped version, I will be taking down the old chapter.  This is just so that people won’t get confused between the revamped version and the original version.

                                          PART 3 - Here We Go

Please Come.  The words stared back at me as I read the tiny slip of paper over and over again.  He wanted me to come back.  Apparently, he also wanted me to email him.  I smirked.  He knew of my aversion to telephone conversations.  He probably figured I’d be more willing to email him than to actually pick up the phone and call him.  Reading his email address, I couldn’t help but giggle softly.  He was still as childish as ever.  Of course he would still have the same ridiculous email address.  He’s Maxwell.  All the anxiety and apprehension that had been troubling me seemed to fade away.  Then again, when Maxwell was involved, it always seemed to fade away.

Chapter 7

It didn’t take long for Riley to jump into action when Liam agreed to her offer to see the Statue of Liberty.  She started to text furiously on her phone, and when she wasn’t getting a response quick enough, she resorted to actually calling up the friends she knew would still be up at that hour.  After all, she lived in the city that never slept, and a good chunk of her friends were in line with that mentality.  At first it seemed like she wouldn’t have any luck making her plan happen, but eventually one of her friends pulled through.  Matt Dennison had owed her a favor from ages ago.  She had never expected to actually stake a claim on said favor, but here she was at some god awful hour staring at the boy that had stolen (and ultimately broken) her heart eight years ago, and all she wanted to do was make his dream come true.  So, desperate times called for desperate measures and she had absolutely no qualms about waking Matt up from his beauty sleep.

                                 PART 2 - OPENING PANDORA’S BOX

My hands began to tremble as I held the thick envelope in my hands.  What the heck could it possibly be?  I gently ran my hand over the beautiful, red crest that adorned the back of the envelope.  It was refined.  It instantly reminded me of my time in Cordonia.  It reminded me of the fancy etiquette lessons with Bertrand . . . the grand balls where everyone performed waltzes and rehearsed dances . . . the gorgeous, flowing gowns that used to cling tightly to my body . . . the way he held on tightly to me as we glided across the dance floor.  It made me remember him.

11/26/29 - Here we go again.  I bet you’re wondering why I’m rewriting/revamping TTS? Five months ago I got a critique about TTS saying that the reader felt it wasn’t realistic enough.  For them, things felt rushed and kind of disjointed (examples they gave were the beginning/agreeing to go to the wedding; glossing over Drake/Olivia’s relationship; Riley’s relationship with Paul; Maxwell and Andy’s engagement.  I’ll admit, my heart hurt a little because I had put so much time and energy into it and had been getting so much positive feedback that I kind of got blindsided by that critique. With everything that was going on in my life, I kind of just ignored it and moved on thinking that I’d address it when I had more time.  Of course, I didn’t really get back into writing again until recently.  So, I took the opportunity to reread TTS and I found that the reader who shall remain anonymous (lol!) was correct.  It was rushed . . . I did do a disservice to such awesome characters like Paul and Andy and Maxwell and even Olivia!  So I’m gonna do right by this critique and rework it so that it is a bit more realistic.

So?  What does that mean?  The plot is going to change.  Eek! I know.  Scary.  But the general premise will remain the same.  Plot twist - I already have the ending written and that won’t change.  But Riley’s time in Cordonia will be a bit different. :)

I really hope you guys decide to continue to follow along!

                                          PART 1 - LIFE GOES ON

“Oh my goodness,” I whispered.  “Roxy, you’re a magician,” I sighed as I inhaled the delightful cinnamon aroma permeating from my warm cup of cappuccino.

Roxy winked at me.  “I know what my best customer likes,” she chuckled.  “It’s been ages since you’ve swung by for a visit.  I had to make it just perfect for you.”

I smiled brightly at the owner of the coffee shop.  Roxy’s Coffee Shop had become a second home to me over the last two years.  I had stumbled across it back in college when I first came home to New York.  I was in between mid-term exams and needed somewhere to decompress before heading back to campus and happened upon this little hole in the wall café.  It was love at first sight.  Sure, there were a bunch of mainstream coffee shops scattered across the city, but there was just something that drew you in at Roxy’s.  For one, they had the coziest little set up going on.  The lighting is dimmed just right and the chairs are extra cozy – which is perfect when you want to get lost in a good book or in my case a really tough crossword puzzle.  Another thing?  Roxy makes THE best cup of cappuccino this side of the Hudson River.  I couldn’t count how many times I found myself huddled in a corner sipping a cup of Roxy’s perfectly brewed coffee after a long day of classes.

And that’s just where I am today – snuggled in a plush, brown chair at the far corner of the shop, steaming cappuccino in one hand and the New York Times in the other.  This was the life.  I brought the cup of cappuccino to my lips, savoring the delicious taste as I sipped it slowly.  “I’ve missed this,” I sighed happily.  “I’m sorry I haven’t been around as much,” I offered.  “Business has been crazy, and . . . well . . .you know how it goes when you’re your own boss,” I explained.

11/25/2019 - It has been over a year since I updated If Only, and I feel absolutely sick about it.  I apologize for not updating as regularly as I should have.  I came back in May with the intent to keep writing and bring new stories to the fandom, but my world got rocked with a horrible family situation.  I went MIA initially because I had a family emergency come up in September of 2018.  My father was diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer.  He became stable at the beginning of May which prompted me to feel a bit reinvigorated to write again.  We were thrown for a loop when he passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at the end of May after a brief period of stabilization. His kidneys shut down and he went into respiratory failure.  Ironically, the cancer may have weakened him, but it wasn't his cause of death.  I was a wreck.  I've slowly gone through the grieving process and wanted to try my hand at writing again.  I can't promise you I'll be consistent, but I'm going to try. Thank you all for the amazing support and thoughts.  Thank you for your sweet reviews.  I will be going through all of them. <3

Chapter 18

Riley was certain of one thing – she would always find herself awestruck at being able to fly on a private airplane.  She hadn’t traveled all that much before, but when she did, it was a pain.  The astronomical cost of airline tickets, the long lines, the long list of TSA security no-nos that she could never seem to grasp . . . all of it made the whole prospect of travelling more of a nuisance than anything else.  Traveling with Liam, on the other hand, had been nothing but a dream since the moment they got to the airport.  Liam once again took charge guiding her to where they needed to check in.  Things at the airport had gone just as smoothly as they had when they left Las Vegas.  Actually, it had gone even smoother than Las Vegas since they were flying out internationally and that terminal had not been nearly as crowded as the domestic terminals.  Liam once again breezed by as Riley trailed behind him, still unaccustomed to the life of private jet-setting.  She still found the entire thing to be a bit surreal.  What normally would have been a two hour process had only taken them twenty minutes.  Apparently, the life of royalty had some major perks.

A little over an hour later, Riley found herself sitting on the private plane that was scheduled to take them to Cordonia.  She stared absently out of the plane’s window as she contemplated how differently her life had ended up than what she had planned out over the years.  For one, she never, ever saw herself sitting on a private plane as they waited for the all clear for takeoff.  For another, she never thought she’d get married to a complete stranger on a whim – in Vegas, no less.  Then again, she also never thought she’d ever meet someone like Liam.  She bit her lip lightly as she watched him joke around with the flight crew.  Apparently, he knew all of them quite well.  They weren’t treating him like a prince, but rather an old friend who they were excited to see.  But that was the thing about Liam – despite his royal roots, he seemed like such an average, ordinary, everyday guy.  He was genuinely a good guy - somebody you could sit around and have hours of conversation with and never got bored.  She smiled and watched as he fawned over pictures of one of the flight attendant’s newborn grand-daughter.  He never fell short of amazing her.  She had always pictured herself winding up with some sort of science geek, who, like her, had spent years focusing on his education to land the perfect job.  Liam was completely different.  The connection they shared was one in a million.  The time they spent together alone in her apartment had further solidified that fact.  She’d have been foolish to let him slip away from her in Vegas, and if she had, she’d likely never find that sort of connection with someone else ever again.  Their relationship wasn’t something that you could just dismiss as being a spur of the moment, one-time fling.  He made her feel alive again, and she loved how he had forced her to reevaluate the life she was living, and helped her to see that none of it was what she wanted.  It felt as if they had known each other for years instead of only a few days.  There was just something about Liam that brought out her desire for an exciting new adventure.  For the first time in years, she didn’t have a plan, and it scared the shit out of her.  There was no denying the fact that she felt like she was swimming in the deep end of the pool without any sort of lifejacket.  But, for some reason, she was okay with that, because she knew she’d have Liam by her side to help keep her afloat.

5/13/2019 - Ya’ll there is no excuse for how long I’ve been gone.  Life got crazy and unfortunately my Choices obsession had to take a backseat.  I’m back and writing again, and I’m so excited to rejoin the community and give you closure to the pieces I’ve had up, and introduce you to some new pieces as well.  I still love Choices and plan on getting updated on all the new stories too!

Thanks for all the feedback.  I LOVE IT. :)

Part 48 -  Girl Talk

Riley awoke with a small smile across her lips.  Had last night really happened?  Maybe she should pinch herself to make sure she wasn’t still dreaming?  Nope, not a dream.  She chuckled to herself.  How on earth did Liam always manage to sweep her off her feet?  She had been wary to make the trek back to Cordonia.  Okay, he had been more than wary, she had been downright reluctant to ever set foot in the country again.  She’d had her heart broken twice there, and she wasn’t in the market to have it happen a third time.  And although she woke with a sense of peace for the first time in months, she, admittedly, still had a whole lot of worry lingering inside of her.  But, just as he always did, Liam went far beyond any of her expectations.  First the office, then his impromptu visit and his talk of wooing her again – it wasn’t what she had expected at all.  She had been so certain that all they could ever be together again was co-parents, yet, here he was changing trying to change her mind yet again.  Could this really work?  Was this finally her second chance?  Could they finally have the happily ever after that she had so desperately wanted back when they first met?  She shook her head, trying to bring herself back to reality.  Her life would be forever different now.  Her wants, her needs, none of it mattered because she had an entirely new focus to think about now.  Her only focus was the health and safety of their lima bean.

Chapter 17

A couple of hours later, Riley awoke to the smell of something cooking, and it smelled divine.  She sat up, stretching her arms out over her head.  She blinked a few times to gather her bearings.  She glanced at the clock and saw that it was a little after seven.  She had only meant to close her eyes for a few minutes, not a few hours.  She sighed, before turning her attention back to the sweet smell of deliciousness.  She saw Liam wandering around her tiny kitchen, as if he had been in there dozens of times before.  She took a few more whiffs into the air, immediately identifying the aroma of garlic and cheese.  Her stomach rumbled at the thought of eating.  “Liam,” she called out sleepily.

7/19/18 - Chapter 6 is really long! I apologize in advance. Yikes! I should have split it into two, but I just felt it flowed better this way.  I have a keep reading set, so don't get mad if it doesn’t show on mobile!  3 I know that I am setting up a lot of backstory, but I promise the social season is coming soon! 

Thank you! As always if you want to be tagged, send me a message!

Chapter 6

When they reached the outside of the club, Riley couldn’t believe that the line to enter was still wrapped around the building.  The entire area was still bustling with activity and it was nearly midnight.  At least that meant that more than a few cabs would be flocking to the area and it wouldn’t be difficult to hail one to get her back safely to her apartment.  She spotted the designated cabbie pick up and drop off area and was about to head off into that direction when a loud roar of grumbles came at both of them out of nowhere.  Riley turned toward the ranting and watched as Liam’s other friends stomped angrily in their direction.

7/19/18 - It’s been over ten days since I last updated.  So bad! :( But I hope this part was worth the wait.  

Thanks for all the feedback.  I LOVE IT. :)

Part 47 -  Monk?

“Liam,” she looked at him curiously.  That wasn’t what she had expected at all.  A courtship?  She tried her best not to chuckle.  He was terribly old-fashioned, and it was adorably endearing.    After surprising her at the airport and gifting her with a beautiful office, she supposed she should have expected some sort of grand proclamation from him.  He was Liam after all.  He had made it clear numerous times that he wanted more than friendship with her, and if she were being honest, he was making it pretty darn difficult to turn him down.  She still loved him, and her heart couldn’t help but melt with the idea of him suddenly being so attentive, but there was still a part of her that was worried about falling down the black hole of court politics and all the horrors that came with it.  She studied him for a few moments, his gaze eagerly waited for her answer.  “You’ve rendered me speechless,” she chuckled lightly.  “That wasn’t the proposition I had expected,” she said honestly.

7/19/18 - Chapter 5 is here lovelies. <3 Thank you for your patience.  I’ve been out of work with a very bad upper respiratory infection.  I think it’s viral, and I have to let it run its course.  My son and hubs are much better, but I’m still left with an awful cough.  :(  At least I’ve had more time to write.  Silver linings, I suppose. lol.  

Chapter 6 will be out in two hours! Let me know how you like it and thank you as always for your support and sweet words. <3 You all are amazing!

Chapter 5

Riley couldn’t help but shriek as she realized what was happening.  Someone had the burly man that was harassing her firmly planted against the counter at the bar, and she wasn’t certain where he came from or how he had managed to catch her harasser by surprise.  On one hand, she was very grateful to the kind stranger who had been the only person in a sea of people to do the decent thing and stop the guy from bothering her.  On the other, she wanted to pull her savior off of the man and tell him that it wasn’t worth the trouble.  The drunk man was much larger than her rescuer and she imagined that once he was able to escape his grasp, he would be none too pleased.  The last thing she wanted was for this guy to end up with a black eye or much worse because he had tried to defend her.  It looked as if the drunkard could have easily overpowered the man if he really wanted to.  His sheer size alone gave him the upper hand, but for whatever reason, her rescuer was standing firm and holding the drunk securely against the bar.  She looked around to see if any bouncers or security guards were headed in their direction to hopefully kick her harasser out of the club.  Unfortunately, there was no one even remotely headed in their direction.  However, a small crowd had formed around them, all eager to see what was going to happen.  Her eyes turned back to the bar, the drunkard was struggling to break out of her savior’s grasp, but he wasn’t making any real progress in escaping, and he was getting angrier by the second.

7/8/18 - Part 46! It’s almost 6,000 words, so it will be a long read!  So I’m really bad at keeping to a schedule. :(  I have so much written, but sometimes just don’t have the time to sit down and edit and clean up/add to the part, and then it gets pushed to the back burner.  I’m so sorry! I love writing and I feel so bad keeping you guys in suspense. I hope you enjoy this part! I’m still working on my other pieces, and will post when I have a chance to sit and edit what I already have written. :)

Thanks for all the feedback.  I LOVE IT. :)

Part 46 -  4 Weeks

LIAM The drive back to the palace had been a long and lonely one.  Liam’s thoughts consumed him.  He hadn’t meant to feel so envious of Maxwell and Andy, but he couldn’t help but see green when they shared the news of their engagement.  It wasn’t that he wasn’t happy for them, because he was, exceptionally so.  He had always been a bleeding heart for true love, and their love story was a perfect example of true love at its finest.  However, they were living out the dream he had hoped that he and Riley would be sharing, and the mere thought of it all absolutely gutted him.  Instead of planning for a grand wedding and preparing for their little one together, they were living separately and teeter-tottering on the edge of friendship.  If Maxwell and Andy were living out his dream life . . . he and Riley were living out his greatest nightmare.

7/6/18 - Chapter 4!  Thank you for the patience! It took me a while to work on this one because I wanted to include a flashback, but just couldn’t work it in, so you’ll get it in the next chapter. ;)

Thank you guys so much!  Hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 4

The moment she had stepped out onto the street in front of her apartment building, she began to have second thoughts.  She could turn back; she could throw that beautiful black dress right back on the hanger, jump into bed and pretend that tonight never happened.  That would be the easy thing to do.  Who needed closure right?  She’d gone eight years without it . . . what good would it really do now except stir up unnecessary hurt feelings and animosity?  She could probably go a lifetime without ever thinking about Liam Rys again.  At least that was the internal pep talk she was trying to give herself.  Deep down, Riley knew much better.  She could barely keep her mind off of him for the last few hours.  Not thinking about Liam was going to be an impossible feat, especially when she had waited for this opportunity for eight years.

Part 44 - To The Happy Couple

“What?” Riley gasped, bring her hands up to her mouth covering it in surprise.  “Really?”

Andy nodded emphatically as she held out her left hand for Riley to see the sparkling ring that now sat prominently on her ring finger.  The ring was absolutely gorgeous.  Of course, she shouldn’t have expected any less.  Andy was marrying a Beaumont after all, everything they did was absolutely impeccable, so she shouldn’t have been surprised about how breathtaking the ring was.  Riley didn’t know a lot about rings, but the center stone looked to be at least a carat and a half, maybe a bit more.  The band contained a mix of white diamonds and sapphires all the way around.  It looked as if it were something that Andy would have picked out for herself.

Part 44 - And the Plan Falls Apart

Riley couldn’t help but smile at Liam’s words.   “Liam . . .” she said softly considering his offer.  “I’d like to, but what about Andy?” She asked as she looked around for her best friend.  She seemed to have disappeared within the crowds of arrivals at the airport.  She couldn’t even spot anything resembling the SUVs that Maxwell typically used.

Liam cocked a crooked grin.  “Let’s just say there were other arrangements made for her travel,” he said as he pulled her suitcase behind him.

Riley followed after him in confusion, noticing that there was no driver waiting for them at the SUV.    “Liam . . . should you really be out by yourself?  Aren’t you worried about being spotted by the press? Or you know getting attacked,” she asked, looking around a bit warily.  “I mean . . . what if someone captures a picture of us together,” she trailed off.
